Terms of Use

Last updated: 14 July 2026

These terms are a real agreement between you and YoungNug ("we", "us"), the student job-search service you are using. They are written in plain English on purpose. By creating an account you agree to them.

YoungNug collects UK job listings for you, scores how well they fit your real profile, generates tailored CVs and cover letters from facts you provide, and tracks your applications.

We change the service as we improve it. If we withdraw a feature you rely on, or change these terms to your disadvantage, section 12 tells you what notice you get.

- You must be 15 or older. We check your date of birth at sign-up. - You must be 18 or older to buy a paid plan. Under UK law a contract with someone under 18 is not binding on them, so we do not sell to under-18s. If you are 15 to 17 you get the free plan, with no payment details and nothing to cancel. We do not accept a parent's card for a child's account unless the parent holds the account themselves. - You must give accurate information about yourself. The service builds CVs and cover letters from your profile; if you put false things in, false things come out, and employers treat that as your dishonesty, not ours. - One account per person, and you must keep your password to yourself. You are responsible for what happens under your account unless we failed to keep it secure.

- Your profile, documents and application history are yours. We claim no ownership of them. You can export or delete everything at any time (Settings). - You are responsible for the applications you choose to submit. YoungNug never submits an application without your explicit per-job approval, and the final content of every CV and letter is yours to check before you send it. Always read a generated document before using it. - Do not upload content that is unlawful, defamatory, infringes someone else's rights, or contains another person's personal data without their permission.

You must not:

- attempt to access another user's data (every request is checked; trying is grounds for immediate termination and may be a criminal offence under the Computer Misuse Act 1990); - probe, scan, overload, or attack the service, or bypass rate limits, authentication, or other security measures; - scrape the service, resell it, or use it to build a competing dataset; - reverse engineer the service except where the law gives you that right; - use the service to spam employers, submit fraudulent applications, or misrepresent your identity or qualifications; - automate account creation or use the service with bots.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that break these rules (section 8).

Job listings come from third-party sources (for example Adzuna, Reed, and employer career sites). We do not control them: listings can be inaccurate, expired, or withdrawn, and applying happens on the employer's or job board's own site under their terms. Company information and sentiment summaries are drawn from public sources and are provided as research aids, not statements of fact by us.

YoungNug uses automated systems, including AI models, to draft your CVs and cover letters. This matters, so we are direct about it.

- The document is a draft until you check it. We build it from the facts in your profile, but automated systems make mistakes: they can garble a date, overstate a skill, or word something in a way you would not. Read every document in full before you send it. - You are responsible for the accuracy of everything you submit. Once you send an application it is your statement about yourself, not ours. If a document contains something untrue, that is between you and the employer. - You are responsible for following each employer's rules on AI. Some employers restrict or ban AI-assisted applications, and some ask you to declare it. Those rules are theirs, they vary, they change, and we do not track them for you. Check them and comply with them. If an employer rejects or blacklists you for using an AI-assisted application, that is a risk you take. - We are not a party to your application. We give you a tool. We do not apply on your behalf, we do not represent you to an employer, and we have no relationship with the employers whose listings we show you. - We do not promise outcomes. No interview, no offer, no response rate, no ATS pass. Anyone promising you those is guessing. Section 9 says more.

The free plan is free permanently, not as a trial. Paid plans add job sources, tailored document volume, and the full score breakdown. Current prices and limits are shown on the Plans page before you buy; that page is the source of truth and we will not charge you an amount you have not seen and agreed.

You must be 18 or older to buy (section 2). We will never move you onto a paid plan, or start charging for something that used to be free, without you choosing it first.

You have a legal right to cancel a distance contract within 14 days, under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. Here is exactly how it applies, because the honest answer is different for the two things we sell.

Access to the service (your plan). If you cancel within 14 days of buying, we refund you in proportion to what you have not used. If you bought a month and cancel on day 5, you paid for 5 days and we return the rest. You do not need a reason. After the 14 days, you can cancel any time and your plan runs to the end of the period you have paid for; we do not refund the unused remainder at that point.

Documents you have generated. A tailored CV or cover letter is digital content made for you on request. Before we generate your first document we ask you to confirm two things: that you want us to start immediately, and that you understand you lose the right to cancel that document once we have made it. If you give that confirmation and we generate the document, it is yours and it is not refundable. If we did not ask you, or you did not agree, you do not pay for it.

The 7-day pass. The pass is fully delivered when its 7 days end. If you cancel during the 7 days we refund the unused proportion, as above. Once the pass has run its full 7 days it has been fully performed and there is nothing left to refund.

Cancel in Settings, or email us (section 14); a clear statement that you are cancelling is enough. We refund within 14 days of being told, to the same payment method you paid with, and we do not charge a fee for refunding you.

• We do not auto-renew the 7-day pass. It ends by itself.
• We do not charge you without showing you the amount first.
• We do not make you phone anyone or wait on hold to cancel.

Nothing in this section takes away your legal rights. If any term here conflicts with your statutory rights, your statutory rights win.

- By you: delete your account at any time in Settings. Deletion is immediate and permanent. - By us: we may suspend or terminate your account if you materially break these terms (especially section 4), if we are legally required to, or if we discontinue the service. Unless the breach makes it inappropriate, we will warn you first and give you a chance to export your data. If we discontinue the service or terminate you for anything other than your own breach, we refund the unused part of anything you have paid.

We provide YoungNug with reasonable skill and care. If you are on a paid plan, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 gives you rights we cannot exclude: the service must match its description, be fit for purpose, and be of satisfactory quality. Those rights stand whatever else this document says.

What we do not promise:

- uninterrupted or error-free operation; - that any job listing is accurate, current, or still open, because listings come from third parties (section 5); - that you will get interviews or job offers. Generated documents are drafts built from your own facts; hiring decisions belong to employers, and no one can honestly promise you an outcome.

Nothing in this section reduces your statutory rights as a UK consumer.

We do not exclude or limit liability where it would be unlawful to do so. In particular, nothing in these terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

Subject to that: because the service is provided free of charge, our total liability to you for any claim arising out of the service is limited to £100, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses (for example a missed job opportunity, lost earnings, or losses caused by a third-party job board), provided the loss was not caused by our failure to use reasonable skill and care.

If our negligence damages your device or other digital content (Consumer Rights Act 2015, section 46), your statutory remedies apply in full.

How we handle your personal data, including your education record and the rights you have over it, is set out in the [Privacy Policy](/privacy). It is part of the deal: we hold student data, so we hold ourselves to it.

We may update these terms as the product evolves. For material changes we will tell you in the app before they take effect, and the date at the top always shows the current version. If you keep using the service after a change takes effect, that is acceptance; if you do not agree, delete your account (and export your data first if you want it).

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction (if you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you may also bring proceedings in your local courts).

Questions, complaints (including the formal data-protection complaint route described in the Privacy Policy), or anything else: use the in-app Feedback form (Settings, then Feedback).
